Fernando La Montaña es un proyecto musical, visual, energético y poético. Sus influencias musicales marcan grandes épocas de la música latinoamericana y anglosajona, mezclando ritmos vibrantes, letras sinceras y una explosión instrumental que convierten sus temas en una película auditiva.

One of the amazing things about the deeply Jamaican music called Dub is its ability to act as a conduit. From its early days as stripped down versioning of popular Reggae tunes to its indoctrination into late 80 / early 90s UK Soundsystem & Dance Music culture, to its current massive mutation (with the “Step” planted firmly in its behind); Dub has shown itself to be not only a musical art form that stands strongly on its own, but also a vehicle of sorts that can transport and connect disparate musical universes. And it’s at the unique nexus of Dub and Arabic music that the Spy From Cairo sits the most comfortably. 

The Spy From Cairo aka Zeb is the kind of musician that fits perfectly in with the downtown NYC music scene – Italian by birth, Gypsy by heritage, and Brooklynite by residence, he has been closely associated with the Turntables on the Hudson scene for close to 12 years – producing dozens of albums as Zeb, the Spy From Cairo and the Organic Grooves project, as well as remixing for everyone from Baba Maal to Tosca to Billie Holliday to Novalima, steadily garnering a worldwide collective of fans and followers 

The Spy’s new album, “Arabadub” is perhaps his most realized vision of deep Middle Eastern and Jamaican sounds coalescing into something that sounds right and natural – because it was conceived and produced in just that natural way. There are no samples used on the album, and Zeb has programmed everything, as well as playing traditional Middle Eastern stringed instruments called the Oud, Chifteli and the Saz himself. Check the opener “Alladin Dub”, with its echoed out skanks, pulsing bassline, and majestic strings – and the deepness that is “Taksim Square”, complete with swirling, psychedelic accordion. Other highlights include the tense four-to-the-floor stomper “Desert Tears”, the rolling dub of “Sons of Hannibal” with it’s beautiful Middle Eastern vocal chants, the nostalgic “Egyptian Pulse” with its Steppers sound and melancholy vibes, and the dancehall vibes of “Prince Ahmed” – sounding like 3AM Kingston wrapped in a Bedouin Tent!

EL sonido de Ghetto Kumbé , es una mezcla de House Caribeño, con beats futuristas. Ritmos que van y vienen como una especie de ritual, liricas que se sumergen en el inconsciente de la mente para poner a retumbar el cuerpo al ritmo de la percusión.


The sound of Ghetto Kumbé, is a mixture of Caribbean House and futuristic beats. Rhythms that come and go like a ritual, lyrics that are immersed in the unconscious mind to make the body move and bang to the rhythm of percussion.
'Chila Kilé' is the first single they release, where they managed to create a mysterious ritual, leading echoes of African and  Caribbean,  sounds and from anywhere in the world that has a mystical aura.
Ghetto Kumbé is a powerful trio strongly influenced by African and Caribbean music, Formed by Juan Carlos Puello aka. "Chongo" responsible for making the world vibrate with his hands hitting the cheerful “alegre” drum and djembe, a meeting between the drum beat of Afro-Colombian and the root sound of several West African countries. Andrés Keyta is who is beating the Dun Dun drums, djembé relatives. The third member is Edgardo Garcés better known as "El Guajiro" creator and director of this project, who is responsible for producing the electronic part, the beats and synths that are soaked with the aesthetics of African house currently produced in South Africa, Angola and Portugal.
